GARLIC FESTIVAL

23d 7h ago by lemmy.world/u/HeyThisIsntTheYMCA in california from gilroygarlicfestival.com

tickets to the gilroy garlic festival just went on sale. i'm sorry for the wait but i wanted to get mine. see you on the friday

i'm gonna eat so much garlic and buy a belt buckle (i hope i see you there Kristi i've missed you) and all y'all else there who come, yeah. it's gonna be a hoot and a half.

Is it just a garlic? I want one.

Please update us and share a picture of your belt buckle

Oh hell yeah you know I will

man I love him. the guy's my favourite cat. wish I could go there

I was there for the mass shooting.

Scary, to say the least. Has it affected you long term? I’d imagine it’d leave someone with PTSD, even if you weren’t really close to it.

I wasn't shot, so it's not the same suffering as others went through. I'm not sure if I have PTSD from it. I think a lot of Americans get a feeling of disgust when hearing the minimization of gun violence.

It wasn't the only mass causality event I lived through. I don't feel the need to share the stories with most people in my life but if the topics come up, I'm comfortable sharing my experiences.

so, i've got ptsd from a few different events and only the worst one fucked with my memory. strangely, that's the one i wanted to forget and i forgot like, almost everything before it. so like it's where my memory begins. yaaaaaaay.

oof. sorry dude. i missed it by hours.

Sorry if I put a damper on the festival that you're going to and looking forward to. It's intended to be a wholesome fun time, and it is. You'll have a good time. I did. There was just a sick person there that hurt a lot of other people that one time. But that's a rare risk that just occurs in the USA.

Nah no worries, I forgot that it happened and that makes me very lucky. If you can come, i hope to see you. If you can't, want me to grab you anything?

No thanks. I already have a braided garlic string in the kitchen. Hope it's fun.

I've been through Gilroy. I reckon everyone who has, remembers it!

Never to the festival though, seems like a good time

i have gone every year i can since 2010.
